At this session, you will hear directly from international students about their experiences at Canadian Institutions. Student presenters will describe how they felt and their perceptions of Canada prior to leaving their home country and compare their expectations to their experience upon arrival. Students will discuss things that helped with their transition to studying in Canada and they will talk about other things they wished they had known prior to arrival. This session is meant to be interactive. Students will be open to answering your questions around transition and academic preparedness from a student perspective.
